Re: 2010 Post Your Ride thread! 56k beware!
I can't believe you still have the Jimmy you rolled 4 years ago...
Whose LeBaron is that? Was it you who had that 50s Oldsmobile with a small block Chevy, and if so do you still have it? Why'd you get rid of the Lolvo?
I drive one of these:
Not a picture of my exact car, but it's completely identical with a few differences:
- The car in the picture probably doesn't have a redneck-installed aftermarket stereo. It was originally a botched home install from the previous owners, and it rattled all the time. (Hell, the whole dash rattled.) Took it all apart and redid it properly. (I lucked out; they used a breakout cable for the factory stereo connector and didn't cut the dash harness.)
- Mine got punched in the nose at one point, so it's got a little cosmetic damage to the front bumper cover and the hood has some orange peel.
- I repainted the front and rear bumpers semigloss black because they were faded, and repainted the stock wheel covers with Duplicolor silver wheel paint. (Not riced-out Wal-Mart fake chrome metallic, they look stock from a distance. They were just getting pitted and the original paint was coming off after years of brake dust removal.)
- I replaced all the brake hydraulics (except the master cylinder and hardline) after my front passenger side caliper failed and cooked the oil, leaving me with no brakes in a parking lot.
Yes it's a sedan (more doors = more whores ), but it still gets 34 MPG highway on cheap gas. Plus it's almost completely made of plastic, and all the frame metal was undercoated a couple times at the factory. Great for the rust belt. 86k miles.
Long-winded, semi-offtopic project ramble/wishful thinking:

Re: 2010 Post Your Ride thread! 56k beware!
pretty much the same as last time. I will be doing a lot of maintenance this summer. Coilovers will really be the only thing noticeable (2-3" drop).

This may be in the "Show us yourself" thread, but this is my '08 Altima... also my '08 yorkie.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

*yep still have the jimmy, AND if we fix the wiring to the fuel pump it will still run and drive, it was running about a year ago.bicostp wrote:I can't believe you still have the Jimmy you rolled 4 years ago...

*the lebaron is my parents car, and what i was driving before the drivers axle broke, tis going to be fixed and painted this summer.
*still have the oldsmobile (1954 super 88 to be exact), it should be visible in the background of some of the pictures in that album., it needs a transmission but thats easy
*the lolvo was nice cosmetically but was starting to develop problems and cost me more money than i liked to keep it running so i sold it in may of 09. i miss it sometimes but then i remember how much of a pain in my ass it was

Your link doesn't go to the album, it goes to a pic of the rear.Triton wrote:*still have the oldsmobile (1954 super 88 to be exact), it should be visible in the background of some of the pictures in that album., it needs a transmission but thats easy
I currently have a 1990 Jeep Comanche, 4x4, 4l I6, 5 speed manual, ~6" of lift, 157,000 miles. Ugly as heck, sways like a drunk, and it rides like the axles are welded to the frame. It'll get up and move, though, lots of torque and weighs as much as a midsize car. I'm try to sell it because to make it into an offroad beast will cost a lot of moneys, something that I don't have. If anyone wants it, shoot me a PM.
I'm thinking of getting a manual Ford Focus at the end of the year. Preferably a wagon, but I'll take any 4 door if the price is right.
